WEBVTT ASSAULTED. THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE CITY THAT LED TO THE LAWSUIT. AND BULLET FLY IN A DORCHESTER NEIGHBORHOOD STRIKING A HOME JUST INCHES FROM A SLEEPING CHILD. NEWSCENTER 5'S JIM LOKAY IS OUTSIDE THE HOME WHERE HE SPOKE WITH THE FAMILY LIVING ONE DOOR FROM WHERE THE BULLETS HIT. THE BULLETS PIERCED THE NIGHT SKY. AND THIS IS THE TRIPLE DECKER ON ALEXANDER AND DORCHESTER. FOCUSING ON THE SECOND FLOOR WHERE THE BULLETS APPARENTLY WENT IN. AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT'S AN UNPLEASANT WAKEUP CALL. IT WON'T TAKE GUNSHOTS TO SCARE ANGELA, BUT DURING THE NIGHT VIOLENCE STRUCK CLOSER TO HOME. AND COME TO THE SIDE OF THE DOOR AND IT WENT IN, SO WE WERE LIKE --. THE BULLET HOLDS AREN'T VISIBLE FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRIPLE DECKER, BUT OVERNIGHT SHOTS WERE FIRED FROM A PASSING CAR, ONE FLOOR ABOVE ANGELA AND HER SISTER LISA WHERE A YOUNG CHILD WAS SLEEPING. I WAS NERVOUS, IT WAS THREE SHOTS AND I GOT UP AND I RAN. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT IT'S FAR FROM UNUSUAL IN THIS DORCHESTER NEIGHBORHOOD. AND OUR NEIGHBORS, WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED. NO ONE IN THE APARTMENT ANSWERED WHEN WE KNOCKED. WE DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN THEY WERE TARGETED. THE SISTERS AREN'T LOOKING BACK, THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD. WE HAVE TO DO THINGS, ALSO, I WISH EVERYBODY THE BEST ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND HOPE THEY'RE OKAY. I HOPE THEY CATCH THE PERSON. WE'RE TOLD THEY BELIEVE ABOUT SIX PEOPLE WERE LIVING ON THE FLOOR. THEY HEADED OUT AS SOON AS THE SHOTS WERE FIRED. WE CHECKED WITH THE BOSTON POLICE, NO ARRESTS AND NO LEADS
